About Me

I was obsessed with Jurassic Park when I was young, and due to that film, all I wanted to be was either a Palaeontologist, or a Velociraptor. When I found out both would require a lot of back strength, I opted to be what Sam Neil actually was, an Actor.

 

As time went on, I found I didn't just want to act, I loved the whole process, from start to finish. I loved creativity, I loved entertaining and I loved telling stories. Which is why I also became a Director, a Writer and when needed, a Producer.

 

I want to help craft a story in any facet possible.

I became a professional Actor at age 16, starring in UK Film Council's Tenner. From there I have been blessed to act beside such names as Holly Earl, Mark Gatiss, Mandeep Dhillon, Josie Lawrence and more in shows such as Sherlock, Some Girls, Two Housemates and more. I have a methodical approach (in a character study not Jared Leto kind of way) towards my acting and career in general. I believe being as prepared as possible helps smooth out any possible bumpy roads or unpredictable swerves you may incur in what is already a very unpredictable career. 

At age 20, I was invited to join my first writers room. I then gained my first professional tv writer credit. This kickstarted my career in directing and writing. As soon as I came back after 6 months, I wrote, starred in, directed, produced and stressed over 3 series of my show Two Housemates. 

Two Housemates has led me to have meetings with BBC and Hat Trick, to work alongside and direct huge names such as Mark Gatiss, who was a big fan of the show!

In March 2021 I filmed Moustache Man, a film about my experience of being a carer for my brother, something I have been since 2014. This film starred Mark Gatiss, Eboni Dixon, Josie Lawrence and myself. It is currently in it's festival run, won awards and has qualified for BIFA and BAFTA qualifying festivals.
